Chapter 97 Ran's Mother's Questioning

Chapter 97 Ran's Mother's Questioning

"Here it is."

Ran Qiuye patted her cloth bag.

It looks bulging.

"Well, let's read for a while and then exchange books at lunch?"

Chen Jianye respects the other party's opinions.

"Row."

Ran Qiuye nodded.

The two stopped talking and focused their attention on the books in their hands.

Occasionally, when Ran Qiuye's eyes felt tired, she would raise her head and rub her eyes, then glance at Chen Jianye beside her.

It was hard for her to understand why Chen Jianye's eyes didn't get tired when reading.

However, Ran Qiuye also knew that it was best not to disturb others when they were reading.

Time flies to noon.

Some people in the library had already opened the lunch boxes or dry food they brought with them and were eating in silence.

Chen Jianye put the pen in the middle of the book and closed it.

Soon, Ran Qiuye, who was sitting next to him, also raised his head and rubbed his eyes gently with his hands.

"Comrade Ran Qiuye, please eat something."

Chen Jianye proposed.

"Ah."

Ran Qiuye nodded and took out three large white flour buns from her cloth bag.

Chen Jianye also took out three big sweet potatoes.

They are all steamed sweet potatoes, and the fragrance of the sweet potatoes wafts when they are taken out.

"Give you a taste of mine."

Chen Jianye handed Ran Qiuye a sweet potato.

"Thank you, you can try mine too."

Ran Qiuye took the sweet potato and handed over her own white flour bun.

"I've eaten too much sweet potato, and the white flour buns taste really good. Did you make them yourself?"

Chen Jianye finished his steamed bun, took a sip of water and asked.

"I didn't do it, my mom did it."

Ran Qiuye spoke the truth and added, "I can do it, as well as my mother."

"Then you are quite good. Teach me when you have time. I know nothing about pasta."

Chen Jianye smiled.

My cooking experience is increasing very slowly, and now it is basically stable at around ten points a day.

If you want to reach level 3, you need to gain experience points.

Chen Jianye calculated that it would take a year.

It's too long.

The fastest way is to practice different cooking skills.

For example, steaming, slow cooking or pasta, etc.

So Chen Jianye was not just bragging, but wanted to learn from the bottom of his heart.

"Ah? You, a grown man, can still cook?"

Ran Qiuye was very surprised.

"I'm the only one at home. If I didn't cook, I would have starved to death."

“Actually, I’m pretty good at cooking.”

Chen Jianye said casually.

"Ah? You are the only one in your family? You..."

Ran Qiuye originally wanted to ask about Chen Jianye's parents, but halfway through, she felt that asking such questions seemed to be poking at Chen Jianye's sore spot.

"My dad was working at a steel mill and had an accident. My mom missed him so much that she followed him a few days later."

"I had an older brother and an older sister, but they both died young, so now I'm the only one at home."

Chen Jianye said very frankly.

"Well... well, it's actually quite good to be alone. I can be free."

"I am the only child in my family. My parents always look after me, but I don't have to cook or do housework at home."

“Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.”

Ran Qiuye wanted to comfort Chen Jianye, but she had too little experience in this area.

"I've accepted it all. It's good to be alone now."

"The aunt in my compound is arranging a blind date for me. I think I should wait and see until my job level is higher."

"Ah? How old are you and you're going on a blind date?"

The two chatted about some topics while eating lunch.

Closer to life.

For example, Ran Qiuye knew that Chen Jianye had already reached the level of a third-level fitter and was just waiting for the assessment in the second half of the year to make a splash.

Chen Jianye also knew that Ran Qiuye was hesitating whether to study abroad in the second half of the year.

She didn't have too many obsessions in her heart. She would naturally like to study abroad, but she was worried that she would not be able to be with her parents.

An only girl is more dependent on her parents.

In fact, the same thing happened to the original incarnation, Chen Jianye. After his parents passed away, he chose to go to extremes.

After lunch, the two continued reading.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Ran Qiuye's eyes could no longer bear it.

Chen Jianye asked to borrow a book and left.

After borrowing books, the two walked to the bus stop together.

"Comrade Chen Jianye, see you next week."

The bus that Ran Qiuye was waiting for arrived first.

After getting on the bus, she turned around and greeted Chen Jianye with a bright smile.

"See you next week."

Chen Jianye waved his hand.

"I'll also bring you some white flour buns."

After Ran Qiuye finished his last sentence, the bus door closed.

A smile appeared on Chen Jianye's lips.

It was still early to go home and cook, so Chen Jianye did not take the bus but walked home.

Looking at the blue bricks and black tiles of the houses in the old city, the passers-by, and the big words on the walls, Chen Jianye's mouth curled up slightly and he was in a good mood.

......

After Ran Qiuye returned home, she took out the sweet potatoes from her bag and put them on the dining table: "Dad, Mom, I brought you some sweet potatoes to eat."

"Hey, look at my silly girl, she's trading white flour buns for other people's sweet potatoes."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and with an elegant temperament got up from the sofa, walked to the dining table, and said with a smile.

"I'll cook for you for two hours, and then you can come back with sweet potatoes."

"It's really a shame that the son sells his father's land."

A middle-aged woman who was also wearing glasses and had crow's feet at the corners of her eyes walked out of the room.

Although she is quite old and dressed in old-fashioned clothes, she has an intellectual and elegant temperament.

It's the kind of style that makes people subconsciously think that the woman must be a college teacher at first glance.

"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"

"These sweet potatoes are delicious. I ate them before bringing them back for you."

"Besides, I only gave him three pounds of white flour buns, and he gave me five pounds of sweet potatoes."

Ran Qiuye pouted unhappily.

"Okay, okay, I definitely believe you. Wait until you ask your mother to steam it, and then our family can try it tonight."

Father Ran chuckled.

"Who did you switch with?"

Ran's mother asked a little nervously.

"I exchanged it with my friend."

Ran Qiuye was evasive.

"What friend? Male or female? How old is he? What does he do?"

Ran's mother threw a series of questions.

"Mom, why are you asking so many questions? I haven't done anything bad."

Ran Qiuye was unhappy.

"Yes, you ask the girl so many questions, which one is good for her to answer you."

"Girl, you've grown up. Why are you so nervous?"

Father Ran stood on Ran Qiuye's side.

"I'm just asking, can I lose some meat?"

"If they are serious friends, there is nothing that cannot be said. They are not some bad friends, right?"

Ran's mother used provocation.

She knew Ran Qiuye's temper too well.

Since neither sweet words nor direct questions work, you have to use this trick.

Sure enough, Ran Qiuye became even angrier: "Mom, my friend's name is Chen Jianye, he is a first-class fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He studies very hard, and we met in the library."

"He is a serious worker. Moreover, he is very young, but he has already reached the level of a third-level worker."

"After he finishes his job transfer in the second half of the year, he will definitely be able to pass the exam to become a senior fitter. Do you think he is a serious person?"
